Causes of hard breasts after childbirth

Check for lobular hyperplasia

In addition, patients with breast hyperplasia should have a check-up every year. According to their own situation, they can choose color ultrasound, mammography, infrared breast radiography and other examination methods. They can also be treated with Ru'an tablets under the doctor's advice.

Milk stasis problem

If the congestion is severe, mastitis may occur. Because if milk is retained for a long time, it will cause the internal pressure to be too high, resulting in local edema, and bacteria will take advantage of the opportunity to enter and cause inflammation.

Breast massage during lactation

Proper massage during breastfeeding can significantly promote milk production and prevent inflammation.

1. Wash your hands before starting, then apply some natural, mild, non-irritating ointment on your hands. If there is no ointment, a small amount of breast milk can be used as a substitute.
